Chapter 7—The Electronic Matchmaker

Footnote 7.1:

The Goodin quotes appear in the paper “The Net and Netizens: The impact the Net has on people’s lives,” by Michael Hauben ([email protected]).

Footnote 7.2:

The America Online example is from a personal interview, the CompuServe one from online messages, and the Prodigy example from _People_ magazine.

Footnote 7.3:

Although anonymous servers protect privacy in most cases, this could be happening only up to a certain point. Many on the Net take it for granted that national security agencies in the United States can monitor traffic to and from the servers and determine the identities of the senders.

Footnote 7.4:

I won’t even bother here with the term “Cyberpunk,” which nowadays can mean anyone from a rebellious hacker to a technophobic teenager who is trying to make a fashion statement.

Footnote 7.5:

Sue tells me her hair is shorter these days, “a little past my chin now.” I doubt the change will imperil Greg’s ardor.

Footnote 7.6:

A program for sending and receiving electronic mail over a network.

Footnote 7.7:

I look forward to an era of electronic books where librarians can function more as book reviewers and information hunters, and less as clerks.

Transcriber’s Note

Errors deemed most likely to be the printer’s have been corrected, and are noted here. The references are to the page and line in the original. The following issues should be noted, along with the resolutions. FedEx is referred to three times with the space (e.g. Fed Ex). These have been removed where it occurs to facilitate text searches.

The quotation at 143.12 (see below) is misprinted, but it is not clear how. We’ve chosen to retain the opening quote and provide the missing close. A similar thing happens at 310.14. The sense would dictate that the quotation continue from ‘really cool chapel’. The added closing quote is harmless to the sense.

On p. 259, the technical term ‘uuencoding’ is almost certainly meant for ‘unencoding’, which makes no sense in the context. We suspect an over-zealous but not very technical editor/proofreader.
